| And that, Walker thinks, is a shame. DotNetNuke has benefited hugely from the
| attention lavished on it by the DevDiv, but Walker believes there are scores
| of worthy, .NET-based projects that are just not getting the support they

| more support for native open source application vendors," Walker told me.

| Walker isn't alone in this sentiment. Back in April, Coding Horror blogger
| Jeff Atwood spoke at length about his frustrations with how Microsoft treats
| open source developers. He went so far as to say that "open source projects
| are treated as second-class citizens in the Microsoft ecosystem."
